Hi,
Frustrated with the high cost of buying a new I-Pod for my Mac (my old one died the other day after a year & 1/2 of continued use), I noticed on your website that downloading a driver for Macintosh even though several are listed when I select the last one for Mac OS X, it instead tries to download a PC driver. The problem? Mac computers are incapable of opening a file that ends with extension exe. It has to end with dmg. Why isn’t this working on your site?
I called Sandisk customer service, and they told me to post here.
So I read the following December message and it’s helpful:
Just purchased the c250 to try to use with my Macs. Admittedly, the package mentions only Windows software but I figured there must be a way to use it with the Mac. After trial and error, a few screen freezes, a few lost folders of music after disconnecting, I think I’ve found how to make it work.
-
Turn on player - go into Settings - Format player - erases the pre-loaded songs and pictures. (Unless you want to keep them, of course).
-
Turn player off, connect to Mac with the USB cable.
-
Player icon should mount on desktop. Copy your folders of music into the MUSIC folder on player.
-
Launch Disk Utility on the Mac and Unmount the Sansa C250 volume.
-
Unplug player from Mac.
But can that be done without downloading the driver first?
Thanks! :manhappy:
